“If I got it that would be good but at the same time if I didn’t get it there would be a confrontation already which is what happened because the next manager would obviously see me as a threat.

“That was sad because I’m not that type of guy. In my work I would always look to help everybody.

“I saw aspects of the club which I felt I could help to improve but a new manager came in and it never happened.

“I wanted to help people get better there but some people want to be in control of everything and that’s not for me because I’m not a yes man.

“I’m not a person who needs someone to tell me what to do.

“I have been at the top level for many years and worked with so many good managers so I know in my mind how I want to play, how I want to make players learn and get better, how I want high intensity and professionalism.
